So one of the odd issues that has arrisen in multiple games is that a rich gladiator ends up buying up all the mules so that they give him the bonust strength. Is this tactic valid? I know that Mules are classified as followers but they are a bit different because they come from the purchase deck. Or should we continue with this tactic of war mules?

You should continue The gladiator gets his bonus as long as the card has the keyword follower. The same goes for the magus

best regards

4 mules combined have the same intelligence as 1 Magus

War Mules... I love it!

It happens...
